Ger progress pics! All just the platform, we’ll be setting the thing itself up uhhh maybe on my next visit.
(Quick backstory if you missed it: my sister has an organic farm, last year I worked on it a bunch but she didn’t have a guest room so I got myself a ger, or yurt, that I set up on the property; meanwhile she purchased the farm so now she has a guest room, which I’m staying in now, but I still want to set the ger up so I have my own space and she can have out-of-town family visit. It’s only a tiny 12-footer and I’m only really using it as a bedroom, so I’m not exactly a pioneer of Tiny Homes or anything.)
I just wanted a good shot of the site, and the work on the platform– Dad’s a carpenter, so he overengineered the hell out of this thing and it’s beautiful. The two shots of Dad and the framework are facing south, showing the view of the “garden”– the area of the farm where all of the vegetables are grown. (It’s a CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, subscription-based farm serving about 100 families, as part of the business model, so that’s a lot of veggies.)
The shot of the completed platform (the white circle; cinder blocks to weight it down until we get the thing set up on it) and of the stream are both facing to the north. The stream is what you see when standing on the ger platform. It’s hard to convey how pretty that stream is.
The whole time we were assembling the platform, there was a gray tree frog singing to us. (As a kid I always assumed that was a bird or insect; you mostly hear them at night. But they’re frogs: link to video of calling frog.)
I can’t wait to get this thing set up. (And yes. I self-inserted it in Home Out In The Wind.)
